Dr. Gerald McKibben comments on the current argument that the degree of similarity between the DNA of men and chimpanzees supposedly proves the evolutionary link between humans and apes: “God used DNA and RNA as the backbone of His genetic blueprints for all organisms, from one-celled ones to the great blue whale. He did not design a different blueprint system for each class of creature.” He then points out that humans share a 50% similarity with the DNA of bananas, 60% similarity with fruit flies, and 75% similarity with nematodes, a worm with the scientific name Caenorhabditis elegans. He writes: “An article in Science a few years ago reported an 81% match between the protein collagen of humans and frogs, and a 97% match between human and cow collagen. Evidence of a common evolutionary descent? No, proof that God used the same basic material to build all organisms…” Give God the glory for His amazing creation today!
